Small ball rules, haters. Phillies 1, Braves 0

Ryne Sandberg is a Hall of Famer, guys.

The Phillies are lucky to have one of the best second basemen the game has ever seen as their manager, teaching the young players how to play the game the right way. How to work on the fundamentals. How to keep the team motivated, approaching each situation with innovation and fresh ideas.

Yessir, we are a lucky fanbase.

Sandberg's version of small ball bore even more fruit Friday night after the Phillies eked out a 1-0 victory against the Braves at Citizens Bank Park.
